DEC PDP-11/84-E Restoration
21-Aug-22
I pulled all of the Unibus boards and power the system on. It stopped at POST #77. At least the DC OK light went on, the fans worked, and the RIFA capacitors in the power supply didn't blow up.
I reinstalled the Unibus boards in slots 5-8 and it passed all of the POSTS and stopped at POST #4, which means that it is waiting for console input.

I connected a Prolific PL2303 DSD Tech USB/Serial cable to my Dell laptop and ran PuTTY. When I powered on the 11/84 I saw:

I also tried an FTDI USB/Serial cable, and that worked too.
I tried a "boot DL0" and it said that the disk was not ready. The READY light on the RL02 was on. I swapped the RL11<->RL02 cable and there was no change in the behavior. I swapped the RL11 controller and there was no change in the behavior.
I disconnected PuTTY and ran PDP11GUI. It would not connect with the DSD TECH cable, but it would connect with the FTDI cable. I ran the I/O scan, but didn't save an image of the results. I will do that tomorrow.
I was able to interact with the RL11 and RL02 using PDP11GUI. After sending the RL02 a Get Status command it showed that

I removed the CMD SCSI controller and the UDA-50 SDI controller and replaced them with G7273 Jumper boards. The system started OK and I can interact with the console. I reset the Setup Table to the factory defaults. It enabled UBA Cache.
I ran PDP11GUI, connected it, and ran the I/O Page Scanner.
[Device_177772]
Info=register block at 177772 with 1 words len.
Enabled=true
Register_0=177772;"device base at 177772, word #0, octal offset +0"

Info=register block at 177776 with 1 words len.
Enabled=true
Register_0=177776;"device base at 177776, word #0, octal offset +0"
I tried to read a sector from the RL11 using the read/write disk images function. The driver reported Error Location = 102, and Error Info = 102201, 000235.
The contents of the registers indicate:
CSR: Drive Ready, Get Status, Controller Ready
BA: The data buffer is at address 110000
DA: Marker Bit, Get Status, Reset
MP: Lock On, Brush Home, Heads Out, Cover Not Open, Upper Head Selected, Drive is a RL02, No Drive Select Error, No Volume Check, No Write Gate Error, No Spin Error, No Seek Timeout, No Write Lock, No Current Head Error, No Write Data Error
So, what does the Lock On error mean? Since the heads are out, the head shipping lock is not in place. I visually checked this too. I bet that it means that the cover is locked because the drive is spinning.
I pulled the Drive Number button out. That should cause drive select problems. I tried to read a sector and the error codes where the same. I changed the Unit Number in PDP11GUI to 1, and tried to read a sector again. The resulting errors were 102606, 000235.
Time to try loading and running Maindec CZRLGE0, RL11/RLV11 Controller Test 1. I downloaded this diag in paper tape format from the PDP11GUI site.
2-Sep-22
I got some suggestions for running Maindecs using PDP11GUI, but they didn't help.
I tried a NOS disk and it didn't help.
I noticed that there was a bent pin on the RL11<->RL02 cable. I straightened the the pin and it didn't help. I tried a different RL02 terminator and it didn't help. I tried a different RL11<->RL02 cable and it booted!

Installation of RT-11 Version 5.5 is complete and you are now running
RT-11 from your system volume.
Your system volume is your working volume if you have used the
automatic installation (AI) procedure. If you have installed RT-11 using
that procedure, DIGITAL recommends you verify the correct operation of
your system's software using the VERIFY verification procedure. You can
only perform VERIFY on the valid target (output) media you used for the
AI procedure. Run VERIFY before you run CONFIG. To run VERIFY, enter
the command:
IND VERIFY
DIGITAL also recommends you read the file V5NOTE.TXT, which contains
information formalized too late to be included in the Release Notes. You
can TYPE or PRINT V5NOTE.TXT.
Also see Section 3.1 of the RT-11 System User's Guide for information on
tailoring a start-up procedure using a start-up command file.

I installed the CMD CDU-720/TM SCSI/MSCP disk/tape controller. I tried to load the disk formatting utility from the ROMs on the controller, but was unsuccessful. I connected a Seagate ST41600 1.3GB disk. The LED on the SCSI terminator was on, so the controller was supplying terminator power. I booted RT11 from the RL02 and ran SHOW DEV. I could see that the DU disk controller CSR was at the expected address of 172150 and the MU tape controller CSR was at 174500.

I tried to format the SCSI disk using RT11, and it was not happy about the big disk. I need to partition it into four smaller drives using the onboard SCSI formatting tool.
.init du0:
DU0:/Initialize; Are you sure? Y
?DUP-F-Size function failed
After trying several different CSR addresses I got the onboard SCSI utility to run. Make sure that the front panel switch is in the RUN position!

I booted RT11 from the RL02 drive

Installation of RT-11 Version 5.5 is complete and you are now running
RT-11 from your system volume.
Your system volume is your working volume if you have used the
automatic installation (AI) procedure. If you have installed RT-11 using
that procedure, DIGITAL recommends you verify the correct operation of
your system's software using the VERIFY verification procedure. You can
only perform VERIFY on the valid target (output) media you used for the
AI procedure. Run VERIFY before you run CONFIG. To run VERIFY, enter
the command:
IND VERIFY
DIGITAL also recommends you read the file V5NOTE.TXT, which contains
information formalized too late to be included in the Release Notes. You
can TYPE or PRINT V5NOTE.TXT.
Also see Section 3.1 of the RT-11 System User's Guide for information on
tailoring a start-up procedure using a start-up command file.

I was able to get the system to boot RT11 from DU1, but not DU0:. It looks like there are problems with the beginning part of the disk. Time to have the controller check the whole drive for bad blocks, and then reinstall RT11 on DU0: I can always try another drive if this one is bad.

I ran the drive qualification test from the CMD SCSI controller ROMs. Everything ran OK. Then I ran the read/write/read test, and it also ran OK. I initializer the 4x DU disks and they worked OK. I think that this does bad block replacement, so that helped the behavior a lot. Hopefully I won't see more bad blocks.

I used PDP11GUI to backup an RSX11 & Decnet RL02 and overwrote it with RT11 v5.3. It took about an hour for the backup and the restore processes. I reset the processor so I could boot from the RL pack, and the BIST said that the Unibus Adapter was reporting Error 40 M8191 UBA Error. I replaced the UBA with a spare and installed the boot ROMs from the original UBA in the spare UBA. The BIST didn't report errors after that.
I booted RT v5.3 from the RL02, it said that it was an installation disk, and asked for more RT packs to be mounted. I used ^C to get out of the shell script, copied the pack contents to DU1: and booted from DU1:. It booted OK but did not run the installation script. I copied the contents of DU1: to DU0: and ran the script IND SYSGEN. I answered the questions as best I could, and launched the $@sysgen.bld script. That seems to be taking a while and there is a lot of disk activity. Assembling the monitor died with:
.MACRO/OBJ:OBJ:MUX SRC:(XM+SYSGEN.CND+TU)
?MACRO-F-File not found SRC:TU .MAC
OBJ:MUX=SRC:XM,SRC:SYSGEN.CND,SRC:TU
Maybe I should just use the default monitor?
Next Steps:
Try connecting a PC running PDP11GUI to the serial console and see if it talks. (Done 8/29/22)
Try downloading CPU and RAM diagnostics.
Power on the RL02 disk drive and see if it passes internal diagnostics. Connect the cable from the RL11 controller to the RL02 disk drive. Try booting an OS from the RL02 disk drive. See if an XXDP+ disk pack will boot the diagnostics monitor. (Done 8/29/22, it says that the disk is not ready even though the drive is ready) (9/2/22 got it to boot RT-11.
